Bar Details

Conveniently located in the heart of the legendary Reguliersdwarsstraat 44 in Amsterdam, BLEND XL has taken over the spot once held by Bar ARC, bringing its vibrant energy just a stone's throw away from its sister bar, BLEND.

At BLEND XL, they've got the space to spare, so bring your friends, your frenemies, and that random person you met on the dance floor last weekend. This place is all about inclusivity and having a damn good time. Oh, and did we mention they have a terrace with a killer street view? It's the perfect spot to sip your drink, people-watch, and pretend you're the star of your very own queer soap opera.

Speaking of drinks, BLEND XL has got you covered. They'll mix up something delightful to wet your whistle while you mingle and make new connections. And don't worry, they haven't forgotten about the old friends either. Whether you're catching up or making memories, this stunning venue will provide the perfect backdrop for your fabulous night out.

But here's the real beauty of BLEND XL: they welcome everyone with open arms. No matter your gender, sexuality, or fabulousness level, this place is all about harmony, respect, and good times. It's a safe haven where you can be your authentic self, surrounded by a crowd that appreciates the finer things in life—like glitter, sophistication, and a damn good party.

And speaking of parties, BLEND XL knows how to throw them. They've got an exciting lineup of events that cater to all flavors of the LGBTQ+ rainbow. From WLW parties that'll make your heart skip a beat to bingo nights that'll have you shouting "Yasss!" in no time, they've got something for everyone. And let's not forget the drag shows and epic after parties that'll keep you dancing 'til the sun comes up.

So, whether you're a local queer superstar or an LGBTQ+ traveler looking for a night to remember, head over to BLEND XL, grab a drink, and let the good times roll. Cheers to an unforgettable night at BLEND XL in Amsterdam!
